'Please wait...': Rahul tells DKS as Congress high command huddles to resolve Karnataka leadership tussle

The Congress High Command faces the difficult task of managing the ongoing power tussle between Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy, DK Shivakumar. Party president Mallikarjun Kharge said on Wednesday that the dispute over the Chief Ministers post would be settled soon, adding that the final decision would be taken by Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and himself after consultations. Reports suggest that the central leadership plans to make a decision on any change in leadership in Karnataka before the Parliament session begins on December 1. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi has reportedly responded to Shivakumar with a brief WhatsApp message: Please wait, I will call you. Speaking to ANI , Kharge said, Only the people there can say what the government is doing. But I can assure you, we will resolve these issues. Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, and I will sit together and discuss. We will provide whatever mediation is required. As the Congress government in Karnataka reached the halfway point of its five-year term on November 20, Shivakumar stirred speculation by stating on Tuesday that there had been a secret deal between five or six of us regarding power sharing. According to party insiders, this alleged agreement was reached in May 2023 at Kharges residence, giving Siddaramaiah the first 2.5 years as CM and Shivakumar the remaining term. Siddaramaiah is said to have assured that he would step down a week before completing 2.5 years. #WATCH | Delhi: On Karnataka political turmoil and speculations around CM post, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge says, Only the people there can say what the Government is doing there.

People in the High Command - Rahul pic.twitter.com/tw0keLQ43y ANI (@ANI) November 26, 2025 Although Siddaramaiah has consistently asserted that he would remain Chief Minister for the full term, his tone reportedly softened after a meeting with Kharge on November 22. He later said the high command will decide. Shivakumar, speaking in Kanakapura, avoided escalating the issue. The Chief Minister has spoken. He is a senior leader and an asset to the party. He has completed 7.5 years as CM, including his previous term, he said. On Siddaramaiahs comment that he would present the next budget as well, Shivakumar responded, Im very happy. He has served as opposition leader and strengthened the party. All of us should work together with the goal of the 2028 assembly elections and the 2029 Lok Sabha election. I don't know. I have not asked to make me the CM. It is a secret deal between five and six of us. I don't want to speak publicly on this. I believe in my conscience. We should work with our conscience. I don't want to cause embarrassment to the party in any way and weaken it. If the party is there, we are there. If karyakartas are there, we are there, Shivakumar said.

One district in India got 220,000 H-1B visas: US economist alleges massive fraud in system

A former United States Congressman and economist, Dr. Dave Brat, has alleged large-scale fraud in the H-1B visa programme, claiming that one Indian consular district- Chennai accounted for more than double the annual statutory cap for the visa category. His remarks, made on Steve Bannons War Room podcast, come at a time when the Donald Trump administration is escalating its scrutiny of skilled-worker visas. Dr. Brat argued that the programme had been captured by industrial-scale fraud, pointing to the disproportionate share of applicants from India. Seventy-one per cent of H-1B visas come from India and only 12 per cent from China. That tells you something right there, he said. There is a cap of only 85,000 H-1B visas, yet one district in India, the Madras (Chennai) district received 220,000. That is two-and-a-half times the cap set by Congress. That is the scam. DR. DAVE BRAT: 71% of H-1B visas come from India. The national cap is 85,000, yet one Indian district got 220,000! That's 2.5x the limit! When you hear H-1B, think of your family, because these fraudulent visas just stole their future. @brateconomics pic.twitter.com/8O1v8qVJPe Bannons WarRoom (@Bannons_WarRoom) November 24, 2025 According to reports, the U.S. Consulate in Chennai processed approximately 220,000 H-1B visas and 140,000 H-4 dependent visas in 2024. The consulate serves applicants from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Telangana, making it one of the busiest H-1B processing centres globally. Linking the issue to employment in the United States, Brat claimed that misuse of the programme posed a threat to American workers. When I say H-1B visa, you need to think of your cousins, your aunts and uncles, your grandparents. One of these folks comes over and claims they are skilled; they are not, thats the fraud, he alleged. They just took away your familys job and your mortgage. You dont have certain talents here: Trump makes rare defence of the H-1B visa program Former US diplomat allages' industrialised' visa fraud Brats claims echo earlier allegations by Mahvash Siddiqui, an Indian-origin US Foreign Service officer who served at the Chennai consulate nearly two decades ago. Speaking on a podcast, Siddiqui alleged widespread and systematic fraud in the H-1B programme, claiming that a majority of working visas issued to Indian applicants were obtained fraudulently. Siddiqui, who served at the post between 2005 and 2007, recounted her experience at what was then one of the worlds largest H-1B processing centres. She cited claims that in 2024 alone the mission adjudicated 220,000 H-1B visas and 140,000 H-4 visas for dependent family members. She alleged that 8090% of visas issued to Indians, mainly H-1Bs involved fraudulent documentation, including fabricated educational credentials or applicants who did not meet the requirements for highly skilled employment. As an Indian-American, I hate to say this, but fraud and bribery are normalised in India, she said. She also alleged that some applicants attempted to avoid interviews by American officers, that proxy candidates sometimes appeared in place of genuine applicants, and that certain hiring managers in India demanded money in exchange for job offers used to support visa applications.

Three out of 3k cyber crime cases involve kids: Experts

BENGALURU: Revealing alarming figures involving children in cyber crimes, Shivarathna S, inspector of Cyber Crime, Karnataka State Police Training School, Channapatna, said, In a month, when we register 3,000 cases of cybercrime, it involves at least three children either as victimsor accused. At a panel discussion -- The Circle of Safety -- organised by Parihar of Bengaluru City Police on on Tuesday, she said, While these children unknowingly become victims or accused in cyber crime, we have noticed a wide gap in spreading awareness among children by educational institutions and parents at home. There is no awareness about online safety amongchildren. Restricting children from using mobile phone or social media will not help, parents and teachers must tell the adverse impact it will have on them. Just like the CBSE board has been creating awareness about sugar consumption and its impact among children, it is high time that they take some serious steps to create awareness about online safety, IT Act, Juvenile Justice Act 2015, POCSO Act 2012. Citing some cases, she said, In the recent past, there is an increase in the number of cases where children become victims to cyber bullying or they are accused because they are not aware that it is an offence. There are cases of cyber stalking, morphing videos especially of female students and sharing pornographic content on various social media groups. Rathna highlighted that there must be conscioussocial media usage among everybody so that children will learn the same from teachers and parents. It is a dangerous trend that most children use social media due to peer pressure. There are no strict regulations on the age of the user on social media. Children can enter fake date of birth and age to create an account on social media. Since social media platforms are a money-making medium, there are no restrictions on data sharing, including photos, on the internet across the globe. There is a need to help them understand not to share private photos or data on the internet and keeping the profile private by making changes in the settings, she said. Another panellist, Nagasimha Rao, child rights activist, said, Teachers must create a sense of ownership among children in schools. Only then, issues like cyber bullying, corporal punishment and more can be addressed at schools.
